The real problem. And its showing up very strongly. In the Africanamerican Community they are now being. Introduced to our were very concerned about their history so i just want. The current rap. On National Public health crisis. Around black brown. Its nothing we can do that right now except to try to get the best possible care. Also on the day a shaky cease fire has been holding in their province of ed live the last battlefield in syrias civil war but for people who survived a decade of war the next enemy is not about to lay down it sounds in other countries but the coronavirus people are cocooning the town. Nobody is taking the danger seriously everyones going shopping nobodys taking any precautions. Or black americans appear to be dying of covered 19 in disproportionate numbers 43 percent of deaths and 28 percent of those testing positive in illinois africanamerican spot but people making up just 15 percent of the states population the governor announced. Just over 70 percent of his States Coronavirus deaths are of African Americans and detroit which is 90 percent black house they got most concentrated number of cases in the state of michigan is the us president and its showing up very strongly in our data in the Africanamerican Community and were doing everything in our power to address this challenge and provide support to africanamerican citizens of this country who are going through a lot but its been disproportional were getting hit very very hard on the director of Americas National institute of allergy and Infectious DiseasesDr Anthony Fauci of police he knows the answer weve known literally forever that diseases like diabetes hypertension obesity and asthma are disproportionately afflicting the minority populations particularly africanamericans unfortunately when you look at the predisposing conditions that lead to a bad outcome with coronavirus the things that often lead to death they are just those very comorbidities that are unfortunately disproportionately prevalent in the africanamerican population. Well brian farran is a professor of law at the university of Alabama School of law he also chazz the Southern Poverty Law Center a nonprofit legal advocacy of a seeking Advocacy Group specializing in civil rights and litigation a welcome to day doubly professor. The right is corona virus hitting black americans harder because of preexisting conditions prevalent amongst them we needed to data speaks for itself theres no question that many africanamerican communities not just in the south across the solved in the midwest are experiencing greater. Virus exposure and and the consequences of their Health Condition that doctors algae is suggested makes them even more vulnerable so its not that the disease itself discriminates its of the consequences of this kind of novel virus. Impacts vulnerable populations more severely and were seeing exploding numbers and i think tragically the numbers are to get much worse because we dont have the kind of competent leadership that we should have. In washington and across the country weve not taken the. Drastic steps necessary to communicate with an isolate one of the populations. The insecurity that of Health Insecurity true to security and other kinds of insecurity affects these populations they dont have the perspective right personal protective equipment or gear that others would have they cant as easily socially distance as. People with religion and more resources and and more space can social distance so. I think were only beginning to see the disparities. And the number of deaths climb among. Africanamerican and other minority populations i think frank said at a particular event for interrupting you guys its important to just to distinguish what youre saying so so youre saying that as as well as these coho bit as the delta foxy was too much talking about there is also social fatahs which mean that that but people suffer a greater virus exposure. Thats right the act that they are come ability issues that are always there for populations with limited resources and was limited access to health care what im saying is if we had competent leadership if we had compassionate leadership we would be out in front we would have addressed as doctor talk he said weve known for decades that africanamericans suffer preconditions at a larger rate and we know that this virus impacts persons with preconditions preexisting conditions at a higher rate and yet theres been limited Communication Limited resources targeting those populations and thats why were seeing skyrocketing numbers its because we dont have competent compassionate leadership at all levels of our government local state and federal and we havent we havent taken the advice and we havent drawn in the experience of other countries that have that took drastic measures immediately to begin social isolation communicating which with vulnerable communities and again it is it is simply harder and tried if you if you lived in a place with one or 2 rooms its hard to isolate. The incidents move the conversation on that theyre also worries that the Coronavirus Health emergency is being weaponized and wisconsin held its president ial. Primary election on tuesday and postal voting has not extend its a people who are required to vote in person lets hear from Milwaukee County supervisor a must see on a nicholson. Black people have been disproportionately impacted by these fires and that milwaukee has been quoted as one of the highest in the nation of rates of the coronavirus and that black men are dying at disproportionate rates of these batteries as are your giving people an impasse of whats right. Size or help to stay home or go and vote at the ballot box. Brian faffing the Southern Poverty Law Center what do you make of that accusation. Well at 1st i think the accurate accusation it is is accurate it seems to me its irresponsible to announce a directive that people shelter in place and then hold a primary that its also irresponsible that were not sophisticated enough existed in our history to have to do it by mail or weve recently done a census thats going on we have to be creative in responsible responded to this fire is taking it seriously for everyone that there should not have been a primary in wisconsin there shouldnt be any primaries that if its not safe for people to gather imagine weve been told by our medical to include 2 leaders so what was saying you know im the one part of what youre saying is that this is a pandemic which is highlighting i think zaslav i think any call it is you think any good can come out of this terrible situation. Well its. You know when people lose to lose loved ones that they should not lose. Its hard to say that any good comes out of it im hoping that will come out of this is that we will see the interconnectedness of of our Global Community and what happens and in in a small province in china can impact the whole world and that we will see the value of competent leadership and decisive leadership that rule will be more compassionate towards one another that we will we will respect each other that we will care for each other even the most vulnerable the poorest among us who are most vulnerable to a pandemic like this the but is the is the response just about the leadership and others figures just about leadership at doesnt have to do as well as social structures and they are even something as simple and basic Us Health Care oh sure possible Health Benefits are doing sure absolutely we have millions of americans who dont have ready access to health care we have millions of americans who experience Food Insecurity every day whoever has an insecurity issues we have a Homeless Population that exploded in the United States all those are our issues as well but to me again having leadership that gets out in front of the issues that play and we shouldnt and planning for a pandemic a decade ago and and and we should be planning now for the next one. And then when you have incompetent leadership theres no planning theres just reaction theres a sense of trivializing something as as lethal as this as simply the common flu which is again irresponsible talkative thank you for joining us now brian fath of the Southern Poverty Law Center are going to join you. Well Bernie Sanders as ended his bid to become the democratic process president ial candidates are clearing the way for joe biden to challenge the President Trump in november the 78 year old senator from vermont performed well in the primaries but later fell behind biden was built a substantial lead in the race for delegates i wish i could give you better news but i think you know the truth and that is that we are now some 300 delegates behind Vice President biden and the pair of point victory is virtually impossible so while we are winning the ideological battle and while we are winning the thought of so many young people and working people throughout the country i have concluded that this battle for the democratic nomination will not be successful and so today i am announcing with the spectrum of my campaign straight to date of his washington correspondent staff and siemens welcome staff and how surprising was this decision. Not really surprising many many many had hoped for that to happen a little bit earlier than now but Bernie Sanders took his sweet time went to his most senior staff and prominent supporters financiers of his campaign and they had a long think and a long talk and now they have it the math just didnt add up impossible for him to get the delegates in the remaining primary votes which will or will not happen in one way or another due to the Current Crisis year so. I think there are great party is more or less very very relieved that its came to this not because now the full weight of the entire party in every wing and every section of the party can go behind the Biden Campaign to help give him the best chance in their view of course to stand out against donald trump in november he seemed to start really well but then ran out of steam one. Bernie sanders had always away with very young with very enthusiastic voters with young voters who came new to politics so sander stands for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party the problem was a the young people he was so proud of having gathered in his campaign and supporting him didnt really show up in big numbers at the at the. Primaries number one number 2 biden really capitalized on the moderate democrats and on the africanamerican vote they went in droves to joe biden because they thought joe biden and do think joe biden is more electable than Bernie Sanders in a fight out with donald trump and they have it Bernie Sanders didnt get the numbers biden has the broader support biden is the candidate so joe biden clearly pleased about this but will the supporters necessarily flock to him. Yeah thats a little bit thats a very good question there is a big question mark about this i think they will maybe well largely hopefully at least hopefully in the sense of that by the needs to reach out and needs to have all all wings and all different sections of their great party under his wing so to speak of the progress if have to kind of if biden wants to have a solid chance against donald trump in november have to go in his direction and have to support his agenda by nobody reacted to Bernie Sanders announcement said you are important your followers are important and you can see in the last few weeks that joe Biden Campaign made a lorries and a ferrets to. What Bernie Sanders stands for the more progressive ideas that the will and and strays from significant change in the society so this is going to be very very interesting in how much and how well joe biden can capitalize on the senders campaign and the scent is left over so to speak thanks for that stuff and simmons in washington. Another growing concerns of the coronavirus pandemic could set off another humanitarian disaster in it live and i asked battlefield in syrias civil war a shake you see is fast been holding that but a the organizations are warning that the province which is home to more than 3000000 people is wholly unprepared for an outbreak has been keeping in touch with people it live and this is the story. Whats it like to live in it live in constant fear of assads approaching forces in constant fear the Aerial Bombardments will resume. For weeks now 26 year old students are hazaar to our has been sending us our impressions images from the last rebel held city in syria where the coronavirus is on everyones lips and im taking it seriously but its difficult when i go outside i try to wear a mask and gloves i worry that my family or i will get infected im not any the ceasefire has been holding an ad lib for 4 weeks now the city is coming back to life and the streets and markets a bustling but just as people savor the sweet taste of freedom the threat of the coronavirus is looming. In other countries but the coronavirus people are cocooning the town. Nobody is taking the danger seriously everyones going shopping nobodys taking any precautions. In the refugee camps around the corona virus seems a distant threat to hundreds of thousands of people live here and die a conditions essential Health Measures such as keeping a safe distance or washing hands are impossible in many of the camps Health Workers are trying to raise the alarm however they can. Quote you will have to understand how dangerous the situation is we as doctors have extremely limited means at our disposal to tackle this pandemic. Dr catto is an anesthesiologist and general manager at one of the few hospitals still operating in edge of province hes trying to prepare the clinic even though it only has 2 intensive care beds and a single ventilator there are only 95 ventilators for the whole region with a population of more than 3000000 dr says it could get worse than an italy. There could be or soon will have to make some really terrible decisions here the who should get a chance to live and who should be let die. Because we have no people no gloves and above all no ventilators or no clinic stuff posted this photo on facebook will stay here for you you stay at home for us but the appeal has fallen on deaf ears satu has stopped wearing a mask when she leaves the house she says she cant stand being stared at and laughed at any more and more tough times are ahead. For 2 weeks ago today new zealands coronavirus Protection Measures moved to level for a full locked out of. The masses on the 23rd of march there was stringent on the question back a van was what the country accept the. After 48 hours the time required to ensure essential services are in place we will move to level 4 these decisions will place the most significant restrictions on New Zealanders movements in modern history this is not a decision taken lightly but it is our best chance to slow the virus and to save lives when youre dealing to suffer more than 1200 confirmed or suspected cases nearly 300 recoveries and only one virus related death and the number of new cases is falling so whats behind these remarkable statistics Pete Mackenzie is a journalist in a New Zealander welcome to day dont you pete how tight is this lockdown so the law is quite tight not only are new travellers to the country encouraged to go and stuff like slow motion but the entire country is that so far so why should everyone apart Research Workers so supermarket employees Police Officers medical personnel are confined to their homes and so that means that they can go all locally to science and they can go for trips to the supermarket but apart from that they have to stay or they have to stay with their bubble is the term thats being used a small group of friends and family who sell parts that it works. And the people respecting the lockdown. By and large yeah so for the 1st 2 weeks the government relied on voluntary compliance to most part so Police Offices were in the streets and they were inquiring with people who were out of their homes were doing so for valid reasons but they were essential personnel going to the supermarket that kind of thing but by and large the countries complied have seen the importance of staying home of self isolating and theyre going along with us now the 1st 2 weeks of that lockdown period have pos governments moving into a new state so the police are taking a more stringent approach to people who break the law down the feed the very small minority who own them and theyre pushing back so some people have been arrested for it the mark down the biological tree and the results are impressive i mentioned that just just the the the one death amongst the navy 1200 confirmed or suspected cases but new zealand is a 3 and a half hour flight from its nearest populous neighbor australia its a long way from anywhere in the world but beyond the australian we just been lucky. So new zealand no doubt is incredibly lucky as a result of the geographical position isolation process the lock down process was much easier in new zealand a small island nation compared to the nations in europe elections in the americas which have large land borders and which are much harder to police and much harder as lockdown netsuite new zealand also took advantage of that natural location those natural advantages with very strict and very Quick Reaction so when you compare for example the number of flights that are currently going on in new zealand to the number of flights that are going on in other countries dealing with the crown of our us flights being one of the main victims of spirit and you see that there are very few flights if any flights to new zealand compared to still significant numbers of cities and its interesting that the country went straight for elimination of this virus rather than containment as so many other western countries did. Yeah so there was initially a fair bit of confusion as to what the governments approach was the government took a very strong line only on that it was still unclear whether it was aiming to contain or to mitigate the virus which other whistle nations have been doing or if it was seeking to eliminate the virus out rise and the. The advocacy of a large number of very prominent Public Health officials in new zealand and the government to make very clear that it was aiming for the elimination of what so the country is now seeking to to reduce that virus to one to 0 cases in the country so that the country can move to some greater sense of normalcy in the immediate future and so when the house a plan being announced for what happens if this is achieved how do you keep new zealand virus free if you manage that. Yes so new zealands introduced full level scales is levels one to 4 and the currently in the will for the moment thats the full lockdown many people talking about and get the government made it very clear when to introduce that model that there would be opportunities to move both up and down the sky so if the virus continues to grow listen very uneasy under as it has for the past few days the government will start to look at moving down that scales that will include the reopening of certain businesses of certain delivery forms it may include the lifting of lockdown by the nationally or in local regions that will allow for a country to return to normalcy because certainly. There will be. A correct every outbreaks of the virus or there will certainly be an increased surveillance for the virus reappearing but something approximating normalcy until a vaccine is about ok so youre talking about a phased withdrawal from from lock down thats about time to send out. What do New Zealanders think the prime ministers handling of this emergency. Prime minister ive done is shown a self to be an incredibly capable leader during times of crisis she showed that jury the question mosque attacks showed that during the carter white island incident and she showed that again during the coronavirus and im like shes an incredibly effective communicator and shes incredibly effective coordinator of a government approach you know New Zealanders biological spalling to that recent polling has shown that m h e h 2 seem to new zealand has a Staggering Number one trust the governments response to one of our rights and that the public trust in the governments approach is also a significant part of why the approach has been successful we want that public trust has allowed has meant that the vast majority of New Zealanders are complying with isolation requirements and so its a Virtuous Cycle and there are scams. And shes good shes had the opposition with her as well then no backed out from that Briefing Room no no so there the Opposition Center right National Party clearly made a decision early on in the crisis that it wasnt going to criticize the governments will going to vocally criticize the governments response and so a Parliamentary Select Committee did a code to the crowd of are sympathetic has been stood up its time to make Response Committee and thats cheered and mainly made up of members of the opposition and so they scrutinizing the governments activities but they certainly not criticizing it vocally and they certainly not making it more difficult for the government which is a very significant departure from the previous normal caltex good talking to thanks so much for joining us Pete Mckenzie in new zealand.
